Introduction

Data Import & Export, Mass Content, Joomla Migration, J2Store extensions, Phoca Cart extensions

Content Uploader lets you import and export Joomla content directly from Excel, CSV, or ODS files in just a few clicks. Each spreadsheet row becomes a Joomla item, making large-scale content creation, updates, backups, and professional Joomla migrations fast, reliable, and effortless. Built for agencies, developers, and site administrators, the Pro version extends the simplicity of the Free version with advanced components, unlimited batch sizes, and one-click migration from Joomla 3 to Joomla 5 / Joomla 6.

One-click Joomla 3 → Joomla 5 / Joomla 6 migration

Export and import in one click:
- Articles
- Custom Fields
- Categories
- Images
- Users (optional)

The migration process preserves content structure and significantly reduces the time and risk usually involved in major Joomla upgrades.

Bulk import & export made simple

Instead of manually creating or editing items one by one, you work comfortably in a spreadsheet. Configure the layout once, select your file, and upload. Content Uploader automatically converts each row into a Joomla item, ensuring a structured, predictable, and efficient workflow.

You can also export existing content into spreadsheets, making it ideal for:
- Backups
- Offline editing
- Re-importing content into another Joomla site
- Preparing content before a migration

Supported content
- Joomla Articles
- Phoca Cart Products
- K2 Items
- J2Store Products
- K2Store Products
- Contacts
- Weblinks
- Akeeba Admin Tools URL Redirections
- Joomla 3 → Joomla 5 / Joomla 6 migration

Supported file formats
- XLSX
- XLS
- CSV
- ODS

Key strengths
- Extremely easy to use - no complex setup or technical knowledge required
- Massive time savings - bulk import and export instead of manual content creation
- Reliable and structured - spreadsheet-based workflow reduces errors
- Perfect for migrations - proven solution for Joomla version upgrades
- Professional flexibility - ideal for agencies and large content projects

Free vs Pro

Content Uploader Free is limited to Joomla articles and 50 items per upload batch (repeatable) and is ideal for smaller data sets and testing the workflow.
Content Uploader Pro removes these limitations and adds:
- Advanced components and e-commerce support
- Unlimited batch sizes
- One-click Joomla 3 → Joomla 5 / Joomla 6 migration
- Access to priority support

Upgrading from Free to Pro is straightforward and immediately unlocks the full potential of spreadsheet-driven Joomla content management.

Content Uploader Pro is built to simplify complex Joomla projects, eliminate repetitive work, and give you full control over your content - whether you are managing a large website, running an agency, or upgrading legacy Joomla installations.

Great for heavy content sites



Posted on 07 September 2012
I have been struggling with creation and management of several sites with hundreds of articles. This extension took weeks of work and, after the initial setup of my excel spreadsheet, processed it all in minutes. Seriously... minutes!



Now that I have the spreadsheet template set, and the created article IDs in the spreadsheet as well, I can update information across numerous articles quickly, whether it is changing metadata, publish/un-publish dates, category, alias, title, everything.



The developer was quick to answer some pre-purchase questions I had before I pulled the trigger on the purchase. I have not had a need to contact for support, so I can't advise about that, but the fact that I haven't needed to contact him says a lot about the product.

Lot of content? Get this!



Posted on 26 August 2012
I'm using this in 2.5 to upload articles based on a wikipedia list. This is invaluable. I just wouldn't have the time to do it otherwise.



And it works exactly as described. Excellent job, Freakedout!

5 stars extension!

this is the best choice if you need to import content on your website. Great extension, great support, great job!



it's worth every penny if you choose the PRO version.

Great way to bulk import content.



Posted on 22 June 2012
I am currently using the pro version of this extension to move thousands of content items from a CMS called Ektron into Joomla. If you are about to do a large scale migration from any CMS into Joomla, this will help you get it done, but there are still steps to go through.



Here are my tips.



Make sure you get "clean" data from your old site. I am transforming and cleaning XML and HTML to get it to the point where it is a well structured Excel file. This will vary based on your data. For me, this is where I spent the majority of my time. HTML encoding some things, find and replace other things, it is a pain.



But, once you have clean data, you can use this extension to import into Joomla as regular articles or K2 items. I ended up using K2 so I could structure the content better. That is very powerful, so I highly recommend looking into that.



Take your time to make sure you set up everything first, and once you finally have everything set up, you can easily move hundreds or thousands of items in no time.



I would much rather go through the time and trouble of setting up all of this (getting old data cleaned, setting up this component to prep it for data), then to do some other manual copy and paste process. It did take me longer to prep everything than I thought, but most of that was on the old CMS, and my own learning curve for K2 and this extension. But, once I got everything figured out, this extension really worked great.



I did have to save my Excel file to the older XLS format, that made the data load better into Joomla for some reason. Other than that, this extension worked great and was consistent and predictable. I highly recommend it if you are going to migrate from one CMS to Joomla. The K2 integration was key for me, and I suggest you consider that if your data is anything more than plain.

Outstanding extension

I love this extension and the way it has streamlined uploading groups of articles and k2 items. I especially like the ability to import into predefined html formatted categories. Nice job!

Great extension!



Posted on 13 January 2012
This is an excellent tool for importing itmes as articles, especially if you need to update existing articles as well as add new ones.

This is must-have!



Posted on 12 July 2011
Must-have? Of course! But top of the tops. Thank so much for the owner of this commercial extension. Help me a lot with my hard work.

Too Easy, saved ALOT of time!



Posted on 27 June 2011
I usually don't comment on extensions, but I thought I should for two reasons...

For one, works like a charm,is feature rich, and easy to use. I needed to import over a thousand articles from ModX to K2, which looked like it was going to be a nightmare! This extension made it very manageable. My experience level is Advanced but even a novice could use this.

Secondly, I thought it was awful pricey, BUT after using it, it was well worth the money. Great Job Dev's.
